Thomas University takes student safety very seriously. We do realize that emergencies can happen at any time and place. We make every effort to be prepared in case of emergencies. As part of our commitment to campus safety, Thomas University has a Campus Emergency Alert System, which notifies participants immediately in case of an emergency. Our campus crime statistics reflect the extent to which our campus is a safe, secure environment. Students, staff, faculty, applicants, and prospective employees are able to review Thomas University annual campus crime report and fire safety report. Evacuation plans are posted in all buildings throughout the campus.
